Chiefs 2020

[Yeetyaah]

@Chris I mean why else would it be that era of jersey? The other posts are using the 208/19 jerseys. Maybe looking into it too much. The one about the canes looks like Jordie so I would have to assume it's Cruden and he's back next year. Fugga yes.

@Bovidae I've heard rumours from two sources that Tucker is going to the Blues.

@Chris said in Chiefs 2020:

I though Parker was signed in the WTG.

More likely. He is only 19 so he would be unlikely to be a full squad member yet. Finau is 20.

[Yeetyaah]

@Tim Fuck that's irritating. Chiefs really shit the bed by not bringing him in this year. At least he will be being used I suppose.

[Bovidae]

Tucker got injured in the final last year so might not have been available for selection initially. He did later end up at the Blues...

If we don't sign Finau, I'll spit.

[Bovidae]

@gt12 A better chance now if Tucker is not at the Chiefs. Finau can play lock and 6.

@Chris-B Bloody good work.

@Yeetyaah Not the exact photo, but a pretty good likeness!

pretty close no doubt its Cruden

[antipodean]

Guess that means DMac back to fullback.

[Bovidae]

@Chris-B Who's that Blues player chasing Cruden? He looks familiar.

Vaa'i - a big unit out of Wesley who has size (1.98 m, 118 kg) and was also in the U20s. He is very mobile and started a lot for Taranaki this year.

Ahhh if that's the tall "skinny looking" guy then I liked him. He always played with plenty of vigor and aggression and sort of semi needled opposition players, whether they deserved it or not! Should be a good unit once he starts filling out a bit with more age.

I heard you signed Michael Woolliams

[Bovidae]

@Higgins This guy.

I mentioned him in my original post. There are probably 3 young locks fighting over 2 positions. Leasuasu was used as an injury replacement late in the season so might be favoured.

[Stargazer]

@Bovidae Sam McNicol not coming back?
